"This is Vicki Walker for Expert Village. I have sewn my pieces of coordinating fabric together now. I took the pieces to the my ironing board and press the seams down so I have a nice flat clean look on the top. I have cut a strip of my coordinating gimp 3 and a half inches wide. I'm going to cut a piece to go on each side that I would sew on in a few moments. One for this side and one for here.
